Take Action Using the 80/20 Rule

Many of my clients ask me about time management and how to get more done during the day. Of course, not many people enjoy getting up at 5am like I do, but you don't have to! The key to getting more done is to spend 20% of your time planning and 80% of your time taking action and often times it's the opposite. At the end of the day make a plan for the following day, putting the most dreaded and most procrastinated tasks FIRST on your list. Stay focused on your tasks without allowing outside interference. A technique passed on to me in my Mindful Business Action Alliance group is the Pomodoro Technique which helps you stay on task. The Pomodoro Technique® is a way to get the most out of time management(http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/). The timer to use while applying this technique is at http://mytomatoes.com/. If you apply this to your day I guarantee you will get a lot more accomplished! Email and let me know how you do.
